A Rare Strain Actinomadura geliboluensis Was First Isolated from the Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid of a Patient with Pneumonia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Actinomadura geliboluensis was first isolated in 2012 in Gelibolu, Canakkale, Turkey, and has not been reported to be isolated from humans until now. We have isolated it from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BLF) of a patient with pneumonia and found its drug resistance. It is the first time that Actinomadura geliboluensis has been isolated from humans since its discovery and naming. This case may provide new ideas and methods for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary actinomycosis.

Case description

The patient was a 75-year-old male who was hospitalized in a township hospital and failed to improve after penicillin treatment. After admission to our hospital, the patient was treated with piperacillin/tazobactam according to clinical guide
